Lumity hasn't added a story.
This year I had the priviledge of attending Lumity's annual dinner and STEM Fair where I got to witness the final presentations of 6 teams of students who had completed Real World Projects with Lumity. I saw kids from Chicago's under-resourced schools present technology solutions with poise and confidence; innovations that would blow your mind. Here's the winning team from CVCA on the south side:
These are kids who had no idea they could pursue a future in a science, technology, engineering, or math field before Lumity. I've witnessed the spark when a resourceful dedicated student realizes they could be a computer scientist and make a life for themselves and their families. These kids are the future of tech and of Creospan.
Can you imagine if every student had access to opportunities like real-world challenges, STEM Talks with inspirational leaders in the field, and Career Site Visits to see what the working world is like? We are all STEM professionals here and we owe it to our team and our city to help Lumity provide teens and young adults from underserved communities with transformational experiences to prepare them for lifelong careers in STEM.
I'm challenging our Creospan family to raise $5,000 because that will provide Lumity's entire program including Career & Life Readiness lessons, Real World Projects, and STEM Talks for a 50 Chicago students over a school year. Please donate $100 (or another amount) and help us reach our goal by October 31st!
Sincerely,
Brij Shah
President & COO
